ground. This is the largest living poplar known in the park area. Locally, this specimen is called "Walker's Walking Stick," after Black Bill Walker, who lived years ago in Walker's Valley, which is about three miles below Tremont. Walker was a very large man. and in recognition of his size, the mountain people named their I largest tree in honor of him. No one should miss seeing this wonderful tree. It is nearly a hundred feet high and | as straight as an arrow. Above the Walking Stick, the trail leads through a [ virgin forest. Maples, poplars, hemlocks, and beeches are the most common trees. Many of them are four to five | feet in diameter. Notice the numerous grapevines hanging in these big trees. Finally the canyon narrows down and the trail follows the stream more closely, crossing and re- crossing until the stream disappears. By this time the state- line is close. You can tell it by the presence of beech trees. The trail "tops out" on the state-line at Mineral Gap, one mile from the top of Thunderhead. This last mile is just chuck-full of interesting views. When you first reach the top. orient yourself so that you can pick out the landmarks. The highest mountain that you can see is Clingman's Dome, due east. To the south, right, is the sea of mountains in North Carolina. To the west you will see the grassy top of Gregory's Bald. At its foot is the beauty spot of the park, Cade's Cove. North of the Cove is Rich Mountain. The next range north is Chilhowee Mountain, and beyond is the valley of the Tennessee. Return to Tremont back down the same trail. Don t forget to look for the Walking Stick again: it will seem bigger than before. Here is a hike that no one can afford to miss. The hike to Thunderhead and return is twelve miles. However, those who wish to make an easier hike can start out and go only part way. The Walking Stick is only two miles above Tremont. Leave Saunders System about 3:30 Saturday afternoon. Drive thirty-five miles to Townsend, park the cars, and take the railroad bus to Tremont, which leaves Townsend at 5:30 P. M. The bus fare is ninety cents for the round trip, and the hotel bill will be about two 22

In 1926, the Smoky Mountains Hiking Club began to print an annual handbook that outlined scheduled hikes for each month of the year, including winter. This 1931 handbook was collected by George Masa (1881-1933), a photographer active in the Appalachian Trail Club and in the movement to establish the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The Smoky Mountains Hiking Club was formed after a group of outdoor enthusiasts hiked up to Mount LeConte in October 1924. Enjoying the spectacular views, the group returned to establish a formal hiking club to sponsor regularly-scheduled hikes into the Great Smoky Mountains.
